the moduli.sample patch

Currently , if the moduli file is self-generated, pkg complains about the file having been changed:

[root@abox /etc]# pkg check -s openssh-portable
Checking openssh-portable:   0%
openssh-portable-8.2.p1_1,1: checksum mismatch for /usr/local/etc/ssh/moduli
Checking openssh-portable: 100%

The patch installs the moduli file as `/usr/local/etc/ssh/moduli.sample` instead, and symlinks it as `/usr/local/etc/ssh/moduli`. the `moduli.sample` is added to `pkg-plist`, but `moduli` is not -- making it possible to self-generate a moduli file without having pkg complain about checksum mismatch for it.

This is a bit improved version of a patch created by @mpts here:

I am not sure but this RLN command should not be needed. AFAIR, @sample in pkg-plist instructs pkg to 1. copy file.sample to file if file does not exist 2. on package upgrade, the new file.sample is copied again to file if it has not been modified since the last time. I'd have to double check with the documentation/implementation.
